Doorstep pitch — pest control
Hey, sorry to catch you at the door — I'm Marcus with Shield Pest. I'll be quick. We're already treating a few homes on Maple just behind you, so I wanted to introduce myself. Have you had any issues with ants or spiders this summer?
I mean, a few ants in the kitchen, but nothing crazy.
Yeah, that's the time to catch it — kitchen ants usually mean there's a trail coming in from the foundation.
Probably. My wife keeps after me about it.
Got it. Is it mostly the kitchen, or are you seeing them in the bathrooms and garage too?
Mostly kitchen. Honestly though, we already have a guy who sprays a couple times a year.
So I'm not really looking to switch.
Totally fair, and I'm not here to bad-mouth your guy. Quick question — when they come out, do they treat the eaves and the foundation perimeter, or just spray the baseboards inside?
Honestly I think they just do inside. Kind of in and out.
That's the gap we usually find. Twice-a-year inside spraying knocks down what you see, but the colony outside keeps refilling it — which is why the kitchen ants keep coming back.
Okay, that actually makes sense.
Here's what I'd do. We come every other month, treat the full perimeter and the eaves, and you're not locked into anything — no contract, cancel anytime. If you ever feel it's not worth it, you call and we're done, no fee.
And what's that run?
It's $44 a month, and the first service today is $99 — that covers the full initial treatment inside and out. Most of your neighbors on Maple are on the same plan.
Hm. Let me think about it — I'd want to run it by my wife.
Makes sense. I'll leave my card.
Yeah, leave it and I'll talk to her.
Sounds good — here you go. Have a good one.

AI coaching tip
Lock the second close before you leave.
You handled the “we already have a guy” objection well with a perimeter-gap question and a clean risk-reversal. But on the “run it by my wife” stall you went straight to leaving a card. Try a soft assumptive close: offer to start today with a free cancel if she's not on board — it turns a maybe into a same-day start about a third of the time.
On the objection turn you talked 64% of the time — aim for one more discovery question before rebutting.
